The first step is often about picking colors or a theme. Sometimes it is really difficult as the theme may or may not have an easy answer. This may be more true with theme such as superhero, princess, etc. For those, we often pick out a few primary colors and some accent colors to help bring everything together. For other events, it is very easy to pick out which colors will be used in the design. For this example, we will be using a patriotic theme. We will be using red, white, and blue.
Once you have established what you want (columns) and the colors (patriotic), then the next step is to determine a style. There are multiple shapes, styles, color placements, and variations for columns that can be done. Here are 4 simple examples to show what might be chosen from. We have designs from left to right; zig-zag column, color stacked Corinthian column, an arrow or chevron column, and on the far right we have a color stacked column. All of these examples have the same topper. They have a bow tie topper that is fun, unique and elegant. However, the base column is what will be important in this step. For this example, we will decide to use the color stacked column on the far right.
